Well, though PSAs or CSAs do not necessarily entirely depend on their sponsor to succeed, the team leader has nothing to lose but all to gain by building a strong team.
It is natural and proven that most people are likely to learn more from what they see you doing. In other words you cannot insist on your affiliates performing tasks which you have not done.
The goal of SFI leadership is “Duplication” and so when you become EA or higher let your PSAs or CSAs know what you have gone through to achieve your success. Having said so, one should also appreciate that the affiliates in the team have varying capacities and therefore there will always be cases where your PSA or CSA cannot duplicate one of your accomplishments due to financial constraints. In that case the leader should motivate the affiliate not to give up but continue making progress until they reach the same level. It is not wise to be too demanding of an affiliate who cannot achieve a certain goal due to other limitations. This is where the leaders often share stories about their own setbacks en route to success.
It is true that one can have thousands of PSAs or CSAs but if they are not following, the leader is not leading but only taking a walk.
In summary, I would say with all factors considered, duplication is the best demonstration of leadership one can give to either the PSAs or CSAs.
